The Drain Fly Kit used to come with DF 5000 drain gel. We now are placing InVade Bio Drain Gel due to customer demand, performance, and better economy for our customers. The video instructions on this page apply to any gel even though DF5000 is used in the video.
The Drain Fly Kit with Invade Bio Drain Gel will treat up to two infested drains and includes CB-80 Aerosol to control nuisance flies during the treatment process, plus 12 Catchmaster 100i Insect Monitors (Pack of 4 boards that split) to monitor infested drains. CB-80 Aerosol will shoot out in quick misting spurts that will allow you to spot treat around sinks and drains and in open areas.
If you have drain flies in a master bathroom with 4 drains (i.e., two sinks, a bathtub, and a shower), you would need two Drain Fly Kits. One bottle of Invade Bio Drain Gel treats one drain for one week.
Be sure to do a thorough Inspection of the area where you have seen drain flies to be sure that you have Identified them properly. Different types of flies will require different treatments.
Please note: CB-80 is undergoing a packaging change from a can with a blue cap/nozzle to a black cap/nozzle. During this transition period, you may receive either a can with a black cap or a can with a blue cap. The product itself has not changed.

The Drain Fly Kit contains three different items for complete treatment and monitoring of drain fly infestations. InVade Bio Drain Gel contains natural microbes (bacillus bacteria) and citrus oil with an emulsifier and gelling agent. The microbes break down the scum and organic buildup that are the breeding grounds for drain flies. By targeting the source of the infestation, drain flies are eliminated and kept away. CB-80 Aerosol contains natural pyrethrins and stabilizers to knock down adult flies in the area at the time of application. The included glue boards are used to determine which drains are infested and to monitor treatments. The Drain Fly Kit is not a substitution for general sanitation. Repeat applications should be made until drain fly activity has ceased. The InVade Bio Drain Gel can also be used weekly or monthly for prevention.
Always be sure to properly Identify the flies you are treating: different types of fly treatment will require different products and applications.
How to Apply the Drain Fly Kit
The Drain Fly Kit with InVade Bio Drain Gel will treat up to 2 infested drains.
STEP 1 - INSPECT - Catchmaster 100i Insect Monitors
You should cover infested drains with the included glue board traps. You do this by folding the boards in half like a tent, and then peeling off the plastic film on the glue. (Do not fold the glue boards into the triangle shape.)
*Place the glue board over each drain at night that you want to monitor. The board should sit slightly up off the drain (as shown in the image below), allowing air to move into and out of the drain.
*This will allow you to (1) determine which drains are infested by drain flies so you can focus your treatment in the right areas, and (2) monitor and control infested drains during treatment by catching adult flies that exit the drain.
*If you are treating a bathroom, you should place one glue board over the sink and one over the bathtub drain.
*Tip: After each night, circle caught flies with a marker so that you can see how many were caught each day.
STEP 2 - DRAIN GEL - InVade Bio Drain Gel
InVade Bio Drain Gel contains natural bacteria that break down the organic buildup in drains where drain flies want to breed. Breaking down this breeding source is the key to eliminating drain fly infestations.
*InVade Bio Drain Gel contains citrus oil for a fresh scent.
*Use level markers on InVade Bio Drain Gel bottle to track correct usage.
*Pour 4 oz. of Invade Bio Drain Gel down each infested drain every night for at least 5 nights. *DO NOT rinse the drain with water right after applying the Bio Drain Gel -- you should let the sink sit all night without being used.
*Cover the drain with a glue board (see step 1) during the night to catch any escaping flies.
*When applying in a garbage disposal, turn on disposal for a few seconds to disperse drain gel.
*Apply drain gel during times of lowest use, such as at night or when leaving for several hours.
*Use drain gel weekly for high-use drains or monthly for home drains for maintenance.
*Use a permanent marker to keep track of flies on glue boards that have already been caught.
*InVade Bio Drain Gel can also be diluted with water for mopping and application in other areas where organic buildup occurs, such as dumpsters and trash chutes.
STEP 3 - SPACE SPRAY - CB-80 Aerosol
CB-80 Aerosol contains natural pyrethrins that kill adult drain flies and other flying pests quickly.
*Use CB-80 to rid infested areas of existing adult flies.
*Close doors and windows to treatment area before spraying.
*Apply CB-80 as a space spray by depressing the nozzle for 2-3 seconds per 1,000 cubic feet.
*Spray directly into the middle of the treatment area for small spaces, or use a sweeping motion for larger areas.
*Allow spray to settle and dry before ventilating and then re-entering the area.
*Sweep up and destroy fallen insects.
*Use CB-80 to kill adult flies and other pests on contact.
*Applications may be made as needed.
*CB-80 can be used in most areas. Do not spray when food or utensils are exposed or may be become contaminated.
*Keep other people and pets out of the treatment area until the spray has dried.
*CB-80 also kills most common insect pests on contact, plus it makes a great flushing agent to check for and clean out crawling pests.
